Auction 73, or why using your phone during concerts is a bad idea → bittermancircle.com

This was a very enlightening article. It doesn’t justify the need of Springsteen security to tackle concertgoers, wrest phones out of their hands, and stomp on them until they are dead (okay, so they don’t do that, but they certainly treat you like a criminal), but it does explain a lot.

 Question: why aren’t artists talking about this interviews? Why aren’t there MTV documentaries? Are we too stupid to comprehend that there is a real problem when everyone uses their phone? Because I gotta tell ya that I never believed it to be real until I had it explained to me, chalking it up to idiotic control-freak, egotistical behavior. Is it just not considered rock and roll enough to justify discussing?

“

We know the October sessions were a real struggle. How would you describe the band’s approach to the War sessions? Were they more focused?

Yeah, I think it was a case of, “OK, guys, we need to be The Clash.” I always have these memories of Bono saying to Edge, “Don’t do that! Don’t be like The Edge! Be like Mick Jones!” — trying to push Edge into a more aggressive guitar playing. Edge is a very whimsical, ethereal sort of person, and I think Bono was trying to get him to be more pointed and more sharp. He had his echo box, and you play around the sound you make, so Bono was pushing him to be more aggressive. I seem to remember the words “The Clash” came out more than once in the sessions.
